Ezekiel 42:1-9

1Then the man led me outH3318 northwardH1870H6828 intoH413 the outerH2435 courtH2691, and he brought meH935 toH413 the group of chambersH3957 oppositeH5048 the temple courtyardH1508 andH5048 theH1146 outer wall onH413 the north sideH6828. 2The buildingH753 with the doorH6607 facing northH6828 was a hundredH3967 cubitsH520 longH7341 and fiftyH2572 cubits wideH520.1 3GalleryH862 facedH413H6440 galleryH862 in three levelsH7992 oppositeH5048 the twentyH6242 cubits2 thatH834 belonged to the innerH6442 courtH2691 and oppositeH5048 the pavementH7531 thatH834 belonged to the outerH2435 courtH2691.

4In frontH6440 of the chambersH3957 was an inner walkwayH4109H413H6442 tenH6235 cubitsH520 wideH7341 and aH259 hundred cubitsH520 longH1870.3 Their doorsH6607 were on the northH6828.

5Now the upperH5945 chambersH3957 were smallerH7114 becauseH3588 the galleriesH862 took more spaceH398 from the chambers on the lowerH8481 and middle floorsH8484 of the buildingH1146. 6ForH3588 theyH2007 were arranged in three storiesH8027, and unlikeH5982 the courtsH2691, they had noH369 pillarsH5982. SoH5921H3651 the upper chambers were set back furtherH680 than the lowerH8481 and middle floorsH8484. 7An outerH2351 wallH1447 inH413 frontH6440 of the chambersH3957 was fiftyH2572 cubitsH520 longH753 and ran parallel toH5980 the chambersH3957 and the outerH2435 courtH2691. 8ForH3588 the chambersH3957 on the outerH2435 courtH2691 were fiftyH2572 cubitsH520H2009 longH753, while those facingH5921H6440 the templeH1964 were a hundredH3967 cubitsH520 long. 9And belowH8478 theseH428 chambersH3957 was the entranceH3996 on the east sideH6921 as one entersH935 them from the outerH2435 courtH2691.
